Hello Terri,
Wanted to follow up now that I’ve received my Western Blot results. I’ve noticed most these posts never show any resolution or the outcome so I thought it would be money well spent to show the full timeline so others can see.
My results came back positive HSV1 (as already known) and intermedient HSV2 (or whatever the result in the middle is). Dr. recommended testing again in 16 weeks, and I assume this is because he wants to make sure I’m within the detectable antibody window, but when I took the test originally I was at 18 weeks already since last sexual encounter. What are your thoughts on the result? I have an original low positive value via lab corp and now an intermediate thru WB and have never had any visible symptoms with a low sexual partner history (and a very low unprotected sex partner history). Any more insight? Am I positive? Negative? Should I get retested in 16 weeks??
